Features
Each of the UWP-C1/C2/S1/S2/X1/
X2 wireless microphone packages
(referred to as the UWP series
hereafter) combines a transmitter
(body-pack transmitter (UTX-B1) or
hand-held microphone (UTX-H1)) and
a receiver (portable diversity tuner
(URX-P1), half-rack size diversity
tuner (URX-R1), or diversity tuner
module (URX-M1)). The UWP series
can be used with a compact camcorder
for ENG (Electronic News Gathering)
purposes, and with a powered mixer
for AV presentations or as a PA
(public address) system.
Note
The UWP series is not compatible
with conventional WRT series
transmitters, WRR series tuners, or

Precautions
12
Precautions
The UWP series product must be
used within a temperature range of
0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).
Operating the UWP series product
near electrical equipment (motors,
transformers, or dimmers) may cause
it to be affected by electromagnetic
induction. Keep the UWP series
product as far from such equipment
as possible.
The presence of the lighting
equipment may produce electrical
interference over the entire
frequency range. Position the UWP
series product so that interference is
minimized.
To avoid degradation of the signal-
to-noise ratio, do not use the UWP
series product in noisy places or in
locations subject to vibration, such as
the following:
near electrical equipment, such as
motors, transformers or dimmers
near air conditioning equipment
or places subject to direct air
flow from an air conditioner
near public address loudspeakers
where adjacent equipment might
knock against the tuner
Keep the UWP series product as far
from such equipment as possible or
use buffering material.
Clean the surface and the connectors
of the UWP series product with a
dry, soft cloth. Never use thinner,
benzene, alcohol or any other
chemicals, since these may mar the
finish.
To prevent electromagnetic
interference from portable
communication devices
The use of portable telephones and
other communication devices near
the UWP series product may result
in malfunction and interference with
audio signals. It is recommended
that portable communication
devices near the UWP series
product be turned off.

Power Supply
This section explains the power supply
for each component.
Half-rack size diversity tuner
(URX-R1)
Connect the supplied AC adapter to
the DC IN 9V connector on the rear
panel, and then connect the AC
adapter to a wall outlet.
Diversity tuner module
(URX-M1)
When incorporated into another
component (e.g., MB-806A, SRP-
X700P, etc.), the tuner module draws
its power from that component.
For details on the power supply to
the diversity tuner module, refer to
the operating instructions of the
component in which the diversity
tuner module is installed.
Body-pack transmitter (UTX-
B1), hand-held microphone
(UTX-H1), and portable
diversity tuner (URX-P1)
These components can be powered
by two LR6 (size AA) alkaline
batteries for about six hours of
continuous operation (at 25 ºC
(77ºF)). Details on inserting the
batteries and the battery condition
indication are given below:
Inserting the batteries
Body-pack transmitter (UTX-
B1)/portable diversity tuner
(URX-P1)
The procedure below uses the body-
pack transmitter (UTX-B1) in the
illustrations. Batteries are, however,
inserted in the portable diversity tuner
(URX-P1) in the same manner.
1 Slide the latches on both sides of
the transmitter/tuner at the same
time and open the battery
compartment.
2 Align two new LR6 (size AA)
alkaline batteries with the polarity
markings and insert them into the
battery compartment, and then
close the cover.
